“Miss Gardner, I heard that during the months you disappeared, you had married Earl Zhong Jinghao of Windsor Castle in Country Y. Why did you immediately get a license to marry Zachary Irwin as soon as you returned to China? Are you stepping on two boats at the same time?”
Just when Jane Gardner thought that Zachary Irwin’s kiss would fall on her face, a voice that came through the amplifier rang in her ears.
Zachary Irwin’s brow furrowed fiercely at the sound, and he raised his hand to block Jane Gardner’s ears, “Don’t listen to it, it’s too loud! You eat first, I’ll take care of it!”
Jane Gardner watched dumbfounded as Zachary Irwin left, she was embarrassed to the core.
After taking a few deep breaths, she too changed her clothes and went downstairs.
“Mr. Irwin, may I ask, are you and Jane Gardner already licensed to be married?” The reporter who had just used the megaphone saw Zachary Irwin open the door, and he rushed to meet him, blocking Zachary Irwin’s path, looking impatient.
Zachary Irwin lifted his eyebrows, he grabbed the collar of the visitor, his voice was lowered and his face was unkind, “I’ve always been bad-tempered, since you’re a reporter, you should know that! Say, who sent you here?”
The reporter turned on Zachary Irwin, “All of us came here because we received a copy of your marriage license to Jane Gardner, we’re not afraid to be threatened by you, we just want the public to know the truth about THE Irwin.”
“Mr. Irwin, this morning, all of our major media received an anonymous letter, some of us received a copy of your marriage license certificate with Miss Jane Gardner, some of us received a photo of Miss Jane Gardner’s big wedding with the Earl of Windsor Castle, Zhong Jinghao, in Y. We have never heard that Miss Gardner has a twin sister, we don’t know how Miss Gardner married two husbands with one daughter.”
Another female reporter answered Zachary Irwin’s question loudly, and all of them were so well-spoken that they did look like they had received definitive proof.
Zachary Irwin’s answer, no matter how he answered, was bound to be unfavorable to Jane Gardner.
He pursed his lips and was about to force everyone out and then use his usual tactics to pressurize the media into withdrawing their coverage of the story.
Jane Gardner came down instead.
“Miss Gardner, can you explain to us? How you were able to marry two people in a short period of time, between Zachary Irwin and Zhong Jinghao, who do you really love and with whom is your marriage real?”
The reporters saw Jane Gardner come down and raised their microphones in excitement, itching to barge right up to Jane Gardner.
Jane Gardner heard the reporters’ questions just now in the room, and at this moment, she looked calm and relaxed against the reporters’ pressing questions.
“The person I love has always been Zachary Irwin, my marriage to him is only reasonable and legal, as for the rest, I don’t need to answer you guys, if you don’t leave, we’ll call the police for nuisance.” Jane Gardner’s words fall as she takes Zachary Irwin’s hand to go back.
Zachary Irwin was in a good mood when he heard Jane Gardner’s unhesitating confession.
“Is he the one you love, or is it just him?” Zhong Jinghao arrives at some point, he pushes his way through the crowd of reporters and faces Jane Gardner straight on.
Zachary Irwin and Jane Gardner heard Zhong Jinghao’s voice and they turned around.
Other reporters recognized Zhong Jinghao and set up their cameras to take pictures of the scene, it was so shocking!
The parties involved in the scandal were all here!
If this news was sent out, it would definitely be a firestorm, some reporters simply started the live broadcast mode in order to get the first hand news.
Zhong Jinghao didn’t care about the reporters’ boiling, he only stared at Jane Gardner with an obvious bitter smile on his lips.
Jane Gardner looked at Zhong Jing Hao in this manner, and she knew that with that statement, he was not asking her for an answer, but rather mocking himself.
She didn’t say anything and moved the door aside to allow Zhong Jinghao to enter.
After the three of them entered the room together, Zhong Jinghao looked around, “This is your home? It looks cozy.”
Jane Gardner personally poured a glass of water for Zhong Jinghao, her eyes colored with sympathy as she remembered Wen Bai Ning’s words, “You failed?”
Zhong Jinghao knew what Jane Gardner was asking, he drank the water in one gulp and stared at her with a smile on his face, “Yes, I failed and lost to a child!”
Zhong Jinghao was lying when he said he wasn’t willing, he just never expected that Windsor Castle and the Delin House had put everything together and taken great pains, but in the end, they had failed.
“Your grandfather’s mood is very bad, he probably won’t last long, I came here this time to see you one last time, and in addition, to apologize to you. Your medicine, I had no way to get it from Gu Yi Ren.”
Zhong Jinghao felt guilty, Jane Gardner was his fault if she really couldn’t find medicine to solve her body’s side effects.
“What are your plans after that?” Zachary Irwin asked, he used to hate Zhong Jinghao, seeing that he had fallen on hard times, he didn’t care to step on him.
“After that, what awaits me is either escape or prison.” After Jane Gardner left, Zhong Jinghao bribed many people in order to get to that supreme throne as fast as possible.
Even more so, he used illegal means on Ha Zaw.
Just how could he have never imagined that Xia Zuo, a small child with no relatives, would end up defeating him with the speed of breaking wind.
He still doesn’t understand how exactly Xia Zuo succeeded!
Jane Gardner could see that Zhong Jing Hao was indeed very lost, she didn’t know what to say, so she let the maid prepare his breakfast.
She had no love or hate for Zhong Jinghao, she was not a friend or an enemy.
She hoped that Zhong Jinghao would be well, and in the future, each would be different.
But Jane Gardner’s wish was good, before Zhong Jinghao’s breakfast came up, Gu Yiren had already called her on the phone.
“Jane Gardner, is Zhong Jinghao by your side? If you don’t want The Shine to be a big mess, I’ll give you one hour to hand him over to me right now!” Gu Yi Ren’s voice was as hideous as ever.
She told Jane Gardner that she had followed Zhong Jinghao here as well and that, Xiao Qing had always been her person.
Now, The Shine has her inside man, and Ottilia Amos is in Xiao Qing’s hands.
When Jane Gardner heard about Ottilia Amos, she looked at Zachary Irwin and lowered her voice, “You guys can do whatever you want, but I forbid you to hurt Grandma!”
“You’re not allowed to? Jane Gardner, what gives you the right? Do you think, you still have the capital to negotiate with me today?” Gu Yi Ren had been carefully deploying since Jane Gardner left.
Originally, if Zhong Jinghao had succeeded in rising to the top, she wouldn’t have cleaned up Jane Gardner in advance.
But when the plan failed and Zhong Jinghao fled, she had no choice but to follow her back.
“What do you want to do again? Gu Yiren, you’ve already harmed your father, is it possible that, you must get me killed before you’re satisfied?” When Zhong Jinghao heard Jane Gardner’s deep demeanor change drastically and her tone of voice tense, he knew that the call must be Gu Yiren’s.
Moreover, her purpose was definitely herself.
“Since I’ve already failed, I won’t be with you anymore, Gu Yiren, you know very well that if you still want me to be right by your side, you’ll hand over the medicine!”
“It’s already this time, and you still only know how to protect Jane Gardner. Brother Jing Han, do you know that I followed you back, and how dangerous this journey was for me!”
Gu Yiren had long since gone crazy, in her life, there was only Zhong Jinghao, nothing else.
“Trying to save Jane Gardner, don’t you dare! Even if I die, I won’t let you be with her!”
